Interesting. Do you like a lot of other black metal as well? Also, do you ever think "hm why am I listening to someone I really disagree with, who I think is a bad person?", or do you just put that to one side and not think about it? Do you never feel any sort of guilt or anything?

Fair. I think I agree with him on some things but then on other things I think he's a bit stupid. Like the survivalism and his conviction that society is going to collapse soon - I don't think it is. Not in the way he thinks it is. Revolution happens, and is a fact of history, but that just changes the social order - it's incredibly rare for a civilisation to be wiped out, especially the Western civilisation. Arguably something of that scale hasn't happened since the fall of the Roman Empire. Since then, there have been revolutions, changes, evolutions, disturbances to the social order, new kings, murdered leaders, revolts, people rising up and demanding new rights, but not a "collapse" / "destruction" of Western society.

Interesting. Do you not at least find the music fascinating? I am just listening to it now and sure it doesn't scream out to me as being the best music in the world, but I find it very intriguing. Minimalist but also very visceral and basic and captivating.
